Looking for an electrician, any recommendations?

phater phagan · 12-09-2016 5:22pm

Thanks Siblers. I'll give him a call.

A bypass of Killarney connecting the N71 at Muckross to the N22/N72 at Lissivigeen is back on the cards.

The land acquisition will be the biggest problem they'll face with that proposal. Would be great though.

No but the 10 miler is on this Saturday. 9.30am from Muckross https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=531829560346682&id=359331154263191

phater phagan · 22-09-2016 6:26pm

Dobman. Do you know is that Muckcross Road or Muckross House? If road do you know where it starts from? Thanks

madcabbage · 22-09-2016 6:36pm

It's from town into the Demense and up around the top of aghadoe as far as I'm aware.

Website shows an unconfirmed map but from previous years that has been the route.

Think the one you're on about is on the 8th of October..heard an ad for it on the radio yesterday..

Chancer3001 · 30-09-2016 7:11pm

I know it's not the right place to ask but....

Anyone know where I'd find good trad or even irish rebel style music tonight in Cork city.

From about 10-12

phater phagan · 30-09-2016 9:34pm

There is a Cork thread here. You might be new or you might actually be as your moniker might suggest. What kind of rebel music do you want? Is it Cork football music or is it Wolfe Tones music? If you are a newbie then go into regional and select Cork city or County if you are not then, give it up whatever it is.

Long traffic jam on the ByPass last night around 6/ 6.40. Traffic backed up from Supervalu roundabout back to turn for Kilcummin. Is that normal for Sunday eve?

The GAA matches were well over at that stage.

Hi guys can someone please tell me where there is an Internet cafe in Killarney, I have an apptitude test to do this week, I'm on holidays in Kerry and I never brought my laptop so il need to use somewhere where I have chess to a computer and Internet, killorglin would be closer but I don't think there's anywhere in killorglin, I have thought about the libabry in killorglin because there are computers there but I'm not sure if they will let me use them because I'm not a member of the libabry.

There is one on New Street, I think it's called Sweets n Things or something, you can't miss it as they advertise the internet access in the window. Its just down from that Underground cafe on the corner.

A book of condolences is now open in the Kerry County council building in Rathass, Tralee for the passing of Munster head coach Anthony Foley, RIP.

Kdylass · 20-10-2016 12:33pm

We're in Killarney for the weekend and would like to find a pub to watch Munster Rugby match on Saturday. Can anyone recommend a pub which would have a good atmosphere and have Rugby on TV? Thanks

siblers · 20-10-2016 7:40pm

K-Town Bar would be pretty good, or else you could try Murphys or Scotts

Kdylass · 20-10-2016 7:50pm

Thanks a million..was thinking of Scotts..where is K-town bar? I haven't heard of it. .it might be nice to try somewhere different...

What's The Shire pub like in Killarney? Is it worth visiting if ur a fan of Lord of the Rings?

It's sh!te. You'd be dissappointed

stop animal cruelty · 21-10-2016 12:16pm

Honestly, I won't bother my are going in there again. Most of the barmen are rude and arrogant from all my experiences in there. Plus its well known to have a f all lord of the rings theme.

The failte is your place, great craic and lovely staff.

dobman88 · 21-10-2016 12:32pm

Yeah agree with SAC, Failte is a lively spot with a nice crowd in there. You're in the perfect part of town with Scott's, Failte, Murphy's, McSorleys bar (not the nightclub part) for late live band.

That's not a bad night out right there.

siblers · 21-10-2016 12:55pm

I've not been to The Shire in ages but anytime I was there I enjoyed it, good choice of music and relaxed atmosphere. The LOTR aspect is totally overhyped, I feel sorry for anyone who has gone out of there way to visit it for the LOTR theme but when it's not mobbed, it's a nice place. Never had any bad experience with the bar staff.

jtown · 28-10-2016 12:13pm

Anyone know what they are doing on the main road to Cork after turn off to Kenmare ? Bad delays today. Just a simple resurface? Don't think t needed it

Yeah, they have been resurfacing the climbing lanes (for both sides) on the way to Ballyvourney have been reduced to one lane for the last couple of weeks so I imagine it's part of those works.

madcabbage · 28-10-2016 6:32pm

Work in Ballyvourney, the tailbacks were bad enough this evening. Very odd time of year to start that to be fair.

They are probably using up any unused funds from their budget so they won't lose out on funding for next year :rolleyes:
